I replaced my polyurethane cover with this one. While I appreciate that it doesn't get smudged as much, the cover's magnets aren't strong enough to keep it against the back of the silicon case, so it's floppy, especially if it's not perfectly aligned. I asked a Store employee about it, and he characterized it as normal. I guess I have to live with it.

Great cover with one flaw

It's a cover not a case so no complaints about the back. Also, the magnet is strong and firm and didn't detached during normal use.

It's a cover not a case so no complaints about the back. Also, the magnet is strong and firm and didn't detached during normal use.
The lather is impressive and fits nicely. The only flaw in my opinion is not integrated solution for the pen, so you keep it separately.

I admire this Smart Cover for sheer fact that there is no longer overlap!!! What I mean by overlap is the Smart Cover hanging over the edge of the iPad. This was for the fact of having a smart case to account for flush closing when equipping the Smart Cover and the Smart case.
Well this overlap was an annoyance if you did not use a Smart Cover, this has been solved. I am assuming that Apple wants you to buy the extremely overpriced leather sleeve for full coverage.
Now going back it the principle of this product some great things I like
- Smooth leather, not coarse
- Great magnet strength, both of the rear and front
- Align flush with iPad edge when Smart Cover is closed
Bad things
- The magnet that adheres the Smart Cover to the iPad. It still seems somewhat weak, it can still be easily yanked off. This is a problem through that has plagued iPads Smart covers since they changed the magnet mechanism on the Smart Cover
Overall I would recommend, its a must accessory for an iPad, since it doubles as a stand as well.

Whilst it is aesthetically pleasing, the iPad is too heavy for the magnet and the folds of the case. It constantly falls over and detached from the cover. Way to expensive to be this impractical.

The cover disengages from the iPad easily. I find this very unsatisfactory. I had a similar cover for my iPad Air, and this never happened. I expected the same with this cover. I would have never purchased this item if a had known about this design fiasco.

Currently, there is no leather case for the second generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro, nor does Apple offer any attachable protection for the back of said iPad. Even if Apple had not discontinued the silicone back cover for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro (first generation), it would not fit perfectly on the second generation, as the camera cut out and rear microphone hole would need to be different. No one outside of Apple knows, yet, if they are going to offer some sort of attachable rear protection for the 10.5-inch and second-generation 12.9-inch iPads Pro.
